Cat Fishing Rod

Some people are cat lovers, and some aren't. I have never been crazy about cats. I mean they are okay, but I had NO intenetions of ever having a cat in the house. I had a couple of "wild" cats outside and that was fine.

Well, this is a sore subject. I live out in the country on a dead road, and for some reason people must think we are running an animal shelter out here. Oh yeah, they drive out here in middle of the night and just throw their cats out and leave.
My sister feeds 30+ cats everyday. All of them thrown out.
Two weeks before Christmas last year my mom and I saw a 4 door pickup go down the road and stop for a couple of minutes. Four hours later I heard something at the door and there he was.
While I was asking the question,"Where did you come from?" He just ran in the house, and jumped on the bed and laid down!
"No, No, No,! No, cats in the house!" He obvisously didn't speak English, because the words were lost on him....lol
I picked him up and put him back outside and before I could close the door he was back in.
Needless to say, he's been here ever since.
I have no idea why he came to my house, because the other cats go to my sister's. I only thing I know for sure is that he is our cat and we love him. Even when he tears the screens of the windows.

I have no idea. It was love at first sight. Once he came in and made hisself at home I asked my little boy what we should calll him. He thought for just a second and said his name was Ground Tiger. Don't ask me.

I went to eat breakfast at my mom and dad's and come home to find that Ground Tiger has been snake bit. When we got home he started meowing and acting strange and didn't understand what was going on. Then I seen his swollem leg and blood all over his chest. There is nothing I can do to help him. Without knowing what kind of snake bit him the vet can't help him.

We have had cats that have gotten bitten and been fine, but he is really sick right now. I hope he has a few of those nine lives left to make it through this.

I don't even like cats! Why am I sitting here crying. There were at least three or four other cats outside....why did it have bite him? Not to mention I have barely recovered from Jed finding the last rattlesnake outside. Now, I am going to freeeking out about him going outside again.
